For more than four seasons, Christian Garrett has been a mostly anonymous walk-on at Kansas. This is somewhat ironic, of course, because Garrett, a 6-foot-3 senior guard, might have the most interesting family background in the program.

Thanks in large part to senior guard Tyler Kalinoski, a 2011 Olathe East graduate, Davidson has crashed the Atlantic-10 party in its first season in the conference and is in a three-way tie for first place with Dayton and Rhode Island.

Former Missouri offensive tackle Mitch Morse projects as a guard at the NFL level based on his arm length. But that shouldn’t be a problem for Morse, who started his career as an interior lineman with the Tigers.

Wes Clark, who suffered a season-ending dislocated right elbow last week, only scored eight points in the first meeting with Arkansas, a but he also had six assists and five rebounds. His defense on Razorbacks junior Michael Qualls also was a key in allowing MU to hang tough.
